Levi's POV
She turns around...tears now freely rolling down her eyes. My heart squeezes in my chest uncomfortably, my hands are itching to pull her close to my chest and assure her. I could tell that she was too invested in this investigation to give me a reaction like that.
"Lydia, come here, please..." I request with open arms, and she walks straight in. She sobs on my chest, making me angry at whoever has made this decision for her. Can't they see how hard she works? Just because the public is talking about it, the management decided to throw away all of her hard work!?
This is unacceptable. I want to feel angry; the rage inside me is bubbling, and I can't feel anything but the said rage.
"Shush...I'm sorry that this is happening to you, Lydia. I'm sorry..." Instead of all the curses I meant to hurl towards her management, I ended up apologizing. My arms press her against myself tighter, her sobs reduce only then.
